Does using Wi-Fi on iPhone use data?
So after 7 years, I finally took the iPhone plunge. My dad's retirement plan got us discounted, unsold phones last week and we ordered iPhone 4s for the family. I made the rookie mistake of inadvertently leaving the 3G on whenever I wasn't connected to wi-fi, downloading a ton of apps that require internet connection, etc. We got a text saying an abnormal amount of data was used within a week and that ended up being via those mistakes. I've already shut off the cellular data on the phone for the time being but as a newbie to the whole iPhone thing - does leaving the wi-fi on but not 3G/cellular data add to the data plan or does it just work like a laptop and you can use wi-fi wherever?
No it doesn't.
- Why does my iphone use data over night when cellular data is turned off? Every night I turn off cellular data and leave the iPhone on and one day I wake up and check my data manager and see i have already used 25 MB please help!
- When using Kik messenger on iPhone with your data plan, how much mb does it use? I'm getting an iPhone, and I tend to use kik messenger a lot on my blackberry already. How much mb of Internet does Kik use to send and/or receive messages, and picture messages? Is 500mb too low for someone who tends to use it a lot without Wi-Fi? Answers are greatly appreciated.
- If I keep my data on but also use Wi-Fi will it use my data? I just got an iPhone from us cellular. I use Wi-Fi to save data, but I can't receive group messages if my data isn't on. If I keep my data on all the time, but use Wi-Fi, will it use my data? And if I keep both on will it use my Wi-Fi instead of data?
- Does using the app called 'ifunny' use up a lot of data on my iPhone? I just got a new plan for my iPhone 4S and I started using the app called iFunny. It just loads pictures, will that use up much data? And does loading and looking at pictures use up much data in general?
